that are hardly noticeable. It is very sym¬ 
metrical, 18 inches long, and never more than

SECOND—It is a very vigorous grower with 
vines twice as long and leaves twice as large 
which stand twice as high as of other varieties.

productive. The strong vines are heavy 
bearers and those growing Jumbo Cucumbers
